Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, KOLKATA BENCH “SMC” KOLKATA
Before: Shri S.S, Godara
This assessee’s appeal for assessment year 2013-14, arises against the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals)-4, Kolkata’s order dated 12.03.2018 passed in case No.-1/CIT(A)-4/2016-17/Kol involving proceedings u/s. 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961; in short ‘the Act’. Case called twice. None appeared at assessee’s behest despite service of notice. It is accordingly proceeded ex parte.
The assessee’s only substantive ground raised in the instant appeal challenges correctness of both the lower authorities action invoking u/s14A r.w.s. Rule 8D(2)iii) disallowance on proportionate interest and administrative expenditure totaling to ₹2,46,038/- over and above suo motu disallowance of ₹30,487/- in the course of assessment framed on 2902.2016 has affirmed in lower appellate proceedings. The Assessing Officer invoked u/s 14A r.w.s. Rule 8D to disallow direct expenditure, proportionate interest and administrative expenses of ₹561,82,46,038/- & ₹3,487/-;
ITA No.996/Kol/2018 A.Y.2013-14 Roger Engineering Pvt. Ltd. Vs. ITO Ward-12(4), Kol. Page 2 respectively totalling to ₹2,82,143/- as reduced to suo motu disallowance of ₹36,105/- coming to ₹2,46,038/-. The CIT(A) has affirmed the same.
I have given my thoughtful consideration to Revenue’s vehement contention in support of impugned disallowance. Learned Departmental Representative fails to dispute that assessee’s divided income in the impugned Assessment Year is ₹80,318/- from dividend. I therefore restrict the impugned disallowance to the extent of exempt income only and grant part relief to the assessee in view of hon'ble Delhi high court’s decision in CIT vs. Joint Investment Ltd. 372 ITR 694 (Del).
This assessee’s appeal is partly allowed in above terms. Order pronounced in open court on 16/11/2018 (S.S.
